Electronic safe

Your room has an electronic safe. There are instructions on how to use the safe on the inside of the door. However, we strongly advise that you do not bring in any jewelry, valuables, or large amounts of money. If you cannot give these to a family member, the hospital also has a safe where these can be stored. Hôpital de La Tour accepts no responsibility for loss or theft.    

Television

Your room has a television with Swiss channels as well as English and international channels. In semi-private rooms, each patient has a television and headphones to be able to enjoy their own programs while being respectful of their neighbor.  

Our philosophy  

The catering team at Hôpital de La Tour offers four extensive seasonal menus with set menus, à la carte menus, and vegetarian options. Fresh, seasonal, local, and sustainable ingredients are used whenever possible. The chef prioritizes fruits and vegetables with Genève Région Terre Avenir (GRTA) certification and works with renowned Geneva-based meat and fish suppliers, including Boucherie du Molard and Gastromer.

The chef works closely with the nutrition department to create all meals.
